Lin Qingping and Gu Juncheng

Chapter 351 Then Let It Hurt

Gu Youlian fell in love with Du Gen at first sight when she was young and devoted herself to him. In the Du family, she basically did everything to make Du Gen happy. She took the initiative to do the dirty and hard work and served the whole Du family well. As long as Du Gen's mother did not bully her too much, she was basically an easy daughter-in-law to control.

But at this moment, Gu Youlian was someone the Du family had never seen before.

With bloodshot eyes, like a storm before a tempest, and a grim face, he swept in.

Du Genniang was frightened by this imposing manner and couldn't help but back away, trembling, "You... what are you going to do?"

Gu Youlian was filled with rage and couldn't utter a complete sentence. She glared at Du Genniang and roared, "Ah—!" before rushing over and knocking Du Genniang to the ground.

Gu Youlian was a rural woman, hardworking and resilient. For years, she had done the heaviest farm work for the Du family, and she was incredibly strong. With a single pounce and a press, Du Genniang had no chance to move, only howling like a pig being slaughtered, "Gu Youlian, you heartless bastard! You scumbag! You'll be struck by lightning..."

Du Genniang was a master of cursing, and no one could move her. She kept cursing, but soon she couldn't utter a single word because Gu Youlian grabbed her hair and slammed her head to the ground.

Du Gen was terrified when he saw this and quickly tried to stop Gu Youlian, but his strength was no match for his mother's, and he couldn't do anything to Gu Youlian.

At first, Du Gen's mother was still howling, but after a few times she couldn't make a sound. Du Gen was almost frantic, but no matter how much Du Gen pulled and shouted, Gu Youlian seemed not to hear him. Du Gen's father was sitting on the ground, shouting and cursing Gu Youlian, but he couldn't move. He and Du Gen's mother had climbed over the wall into the yard, and he had injured his leg when he jumped down.

Gu Juncheng arrived at this time, only a minute or two later, and he was also shocked when he saw the scene in the courtyard.

Du Gen felt like he had seen a savior and came to him crying, pleading, "Chengzi, Chengzi, you must stop Lianzi! Someone's going to die! Someone's going to die if this continues!"

Gu Juncheng didn't need to be told; he had already taken action, bending down to lift his sister, who was sitting on Du Genniang's lap.

Enraged, Gu Youlian turned around to slap him, but Gu Juncheng grabbed her hand, roaring, "Even if I'm struck by lightning, I'll kill this old hag first!"

"Sister! It's me!" Gu Juncheng shouted.

"Let me go!" Gu Youlian struggled violently. "How did she beat the wheat! I want to pay her back tenfold, a hundredfold! Let me go!"

His voice was already hoarse from shouting...

"You beat her to death or injured her, you go to jail, what about Xiaomai?" Gu Juncheng's voice exploded in her ears like a thunderclap, freezing Gu Youlian in place.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Dugan quickly moved his mother aside and placed her with his father.

Gu Youlian stood there, stunned for a long while, before slowly turning around. Seeing her younger brother's face clearly, she suddenly collapsed, her body going limp, and she burst into tears, sobbing, "Chengzi, they bullied Xiaomai like this! They're demons, demons..."

Gu Juncheng helped his sister up, said "I know," and then looked at the three people from the Du family.

Du Gen supported his parents and looked at her and Gu Juncheng. He saw Gu Youlian crying on Gu Juncheng's arm, and a sense of despair rose from the bottom of his heart.

He suddenly realized that he and Gu Youlian could never go back to the way things were.

"Let's take them to the hospital first," Gu Juncheng said to Du Gen.

Dugan sniffed and nodded.

Unexpectedly, neither Du Gen's father nor mother would lie on the ground and refuse to go to the hospital. When Du Gen tried to carry his father on his back, his father kept hitting him, yelling, "You worthless wretch! Today, I'll die here! This is the Du family's house! I'll die here!"

"Dad! What are you talking about now, still talking about houses!" Du Gen said anxiously.

Du Gen's mother, weak and powerless, also pulled on Du Gen, saying, "No... we can't leave this courtyard... that wicked woman Gu Youlian... wants to drive us all out... to take over the house... no... no... even if it kills me, I'll protect this house for my grandson..."

"Mother!" Dugen hurriedly stopped his mother from continuing, "Are you confused? Where did this grandson come from?"

The word "grandson" also made Gu Youlian, who was crying, stop crying and turn her head to look over.

It seems the Du family is planning to deceive this child again...

He was lying to her from beginning to end...

“Lianzi, no…” Dugen hurriedly explained, “Mom just said it offhand, I…”

Gu Youlian found it strange. The anger that had previously made her furious whenever Du Gen, this suddenly appearing "son," was gone at this moment. Of course, she still felt pain and her heart was still aching, but she was really not angry anymore. She just looked at him calmly, letting the pain in her heart swell up like a sponge soaked in water.

But that doesn't matter anymore.

So be it, it hurts...

Gu Youlian's calm gaze frightened Du Gen. He would rather she were still angry, still furious, still crying in front of him, which at least proved that she still cared about him, unlike now, when her eyes were like a stagnant pool.

“Lotus seed…” Dugen called her hoarsely, his voice filled with sorrow.

Gu Juncheng held his sister even tighter and reminded Du Gen, "You should take your parents to the hospital first, don't delay."

“But Lianzi…” Du Gen looked at his brother-in-law with pleading eyes, hoping he could help persuade Gu Youlian. Isn’t that how it is in the village? Even if the man makes a mistake and the wife’s family comes to make a scene, they will eventually try to reconcile them. No one will break up a marriage.

But Gu Juncheng showed no intention of cooperating with him.

“You and my sister, you should just forget about it.” He interrupted Dugen directly. “Take your parents to the hospital first, and then get a divorce after they’re discharged.”

“No—” Dugan’s voice echoed in the courtyard at night.

“There’s no room for negotiation. If you can’t get two people to the hospital by yourself, I’ll have someone find a place to call an ambulance to pick them up.”

Gu Juncheng was already serious, and even though Du Gen had been his brother-in-law before, he was still somewhat intimidated by this younger brother-in-law. Now, with Gu Juncheng's cold face, he was even more intimidating.

Dugan knew he meant what he said, so he said, "No need, I can manage," and stood up.

Du Gen's parents were still stubborn, but Du Gen resolved the situation himself. He simply said, "Then you stay here, I'm leaving, flying far away, never to see you again," which shut them up.

Gu Juncheng still asked Wei Zhonghua to accompany Du Gen to the hospital.

With such a commotion, how could the brothers not have heard it? However, this was a private family matter, and they couldn't get involved. They just waited outside, prepared to make sure Gu Tuan's family didn't suffer any losses, and ready to step in if needed.

Gu Youlian's home finally became quiet.
